Estate planning isn’t just about money. It’s about love and peace of mind. Whether you’re 18 or 80, having an up-to-date will is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones. In your estate plan, you decide, in detail, how to distribute your assets and property. This includes not only items like stocks, homes, vehicles, cash, and jewelry, but digital assets and pet care as well.

The Nepal Youth Foundation prides itself on building transformational change with slow and steady strength. We make long-term promises to individual children and families, devoting focused attention to creating sustainable, generational triumphs. We devote tremendous effort to refining each program, improving upon our remarkable outcomes year after year. And in everything we do, we think ahead, considering the practical long-term needs of the Nepali children and young people in our care. Bequests ensure that we’ll be able to continue transforming lives in Nepal for many years to come.

Thank you for considering a bequest to our organization! We’d like to help make it as easy as possible for you. Here are some suggestions for how to proceed:

• Work with your financial or legal adviser to confirm what type of bequest to make.
• We’ve provided you with sample language that may help you and your attorney as you consider a gift that will meet your financial and personal goals.
• Most bequestors choose to either leave a fixed dollar amount, or a percentage of their residual estate. It can be more impactful to choose to leave a percentage of your estate to a nonprofit rather than a fixed dollar amount, but NYF is deeply grateful to receive either option.
• If you already have a Will or Trust and would like to include NYF, you do not have to rewrite your current documents. You can simply make an amendment!

When you’re finished, please provide us with documentation of your bequest. Doing so will not only help us plan for the future and ensure that your wishes are carried out, but also secure your membership to our Legacy Circle. You need send only a copy of the page from your will that references your gift, and a simple identification of the document itself such as the first page.

If you include NYF in your planned giving, please let us know! The Legacy Circle is NYF’s way of saying Dhanyabad, or Thank You, to those who remember us in their estate planning. All you need to do is tell us you’ve included NYF in your will or other plans—no minimum bequest required—and you become part of this special group.  Legacy gifts help ensure our proven, transformative programming can withstand unexpected disasters like pandemics and earthquakes. They allow us to maximize the care we offer to the children we serve. Most of all, these remembrances provide the stability we need to continue serving Nepali children long into the future.

Members of our Legacy Circle mean the world to us: It is a profound honor to be included in a long-time supporter’s estate planning, and a great joy to know that our programs in Nepal can continue providing Education, Health, Shelter, and Freedom for children in Nepal for years to come.

Legacy Circle members receive invitations to join exclusive gatherings with our team, including early invitations to annual events like Founder’s Day.

We would be happy to speak with you in confidence about your giving goals—with no obligation. To learn more about how you can make a lasting impact in Nepal through planned giving, please reach out! You can email us at info@nepalyouthfoundation.org or call us at (415) 331-8585.

Although NYF does not offer professional legal advice, we’d be thrilled to work with your tax advisor to find the best solution for you. All information is provided confidentially and without any obligation.
